There is sparse documentation about the PPM format online (at
activestate).
A PPM repository consists of a directory with .PPD files in it, and
other
directories with the binary parts for different architectures and/or
builds.
The PPD files point to those other binary parts, which are merely
gzipped
tar files of the blib hierarchy made in the make process, after you go:
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
I've attached Jenda's script (see http://jenda.mccann.cz/perl/PPM.html)
for
making PPD files.
If you already have the distributions from, say, ActiveState, you just
have
to mimic the directory structure. Look at the .PPD files themselves for
the
required directories.
